Sometimes I will go into my files and look over the things I have made in the past .. (most of them sold now, or given away)
I am so darn critical of everything I make, but occasionally I can actually say there are some things I have created that I really like for some reason or another...
I ran across this collage that I think I did over a year ago now...
I am not really quite sure what I do like about it.... the colors? the nonconformity of it?? the simpleness??? I just like it.. I remember when I made it and it just seemed to come to me with no struggles...(maybe that is what links me to like it)
I kind of wish I still had it in my possession so I could frame it. (I sold it on Ebay)
I have set it as my wallpaper at work, and everyday I turn on my computer and see it.. it seems to make me smile...If it strikes any emotion,,, one that can make me smile these days is such a wonderful thing!
I think you like it because it is so freeeeee! The colors are beautiful as well - very happy!

Stacie -- what a fun collage -- I love it, too!! And I do that -- go back thru, wishing I still had a particular piece of art.....

I have a piece like that too so I knew just what you meant and it was so interesting to hear it put into words. I miss that piece and it was probably not so spectacular to anyone else ! but to me everything just worked...it came to me as I went along and it all fit without really knowing where I was going with it.
I think of it often .
I have not really ever had that same feeling since and it makes me wish I had it back too !
Well, it went to another artist and I like knowing it hangs near her at her work desk and we are somehow linked in creative spirit and energy.
I just know that your piece, wherever it ended up, is bringing joy and inspiration to that person and that part of the world...must have been a reason it flew out into the universe like that !
Thank you for all of the joy I get looking up your work and investigating all of the little details and designs within one piece.
I look forward to more and more and watching you evolve.
Love, Sandy
